The information I have right now is that his vehicle, which was identified as a 2013 Chevy Tahoe, was traveling northbound on Midwest Boulevard, just south of Memorial, towards I-44 better known as Turner Turnpike.

He went left of center, traveling at a high rate of speed and collided into the west embankment wall of the overpass.

His vehicle was engulfed in flames immediately and he did not survive the accident.

Once again, it appears that speed was most definitely a factor in the fatality. It’s going to take our investigators approximately one to two weeks to completely finish the investigation and recreate the accident.

But at this point in time it looks pretty cut and dry as far as what happened. The medical examiner will make the final determination as far as the cause of death. It could of been something else, we do work a fatality accidents where people have medical episodes just prior to the collision but that’s all the information that I have right now.
